I have two wells that have been drilled and are scheduled to frac beginning Aug 26. The frac has been delayed twice, once for simple schedule changes and a second time due to a bridge washout resulting from the recent floods. Hopefully 3rd time's a charm!

Our first well completed in late March so it puts us almost 6 months to the day for fracking assuming they actualy start Aug 26th as planned. That said, the original plan was to begin fracking much sooner, closer to the 3 month mark. I guess it all depends on crew scheduling. Good luck with your well.

We were drilled well over a year ago with royalty checks starting in July 2013 - my issue is when is Chesapeake coming back to drill the other wells associated with our pad - they have come back and done additional drilling all around us but we have heard thru the local grapevine it could be soon or even as late as 2015 for them to come back to our pad - any thoughts or comments regarding this situation - our location is A1045! One thing I have learned with Chesapeake they are very UNpredictable!

I understand for sure Mark - not completely sure but from what I can tell it seems we have a average well - no complaining on my part as long as there is production - I know there are many variables - I look for them to come back just not sure when - I'm an eternal optimist - which could be good or bad! Thanks!
